Bug Description
Binary package hint: synaptic
After further investigation, another bug was discovered.
Package: Synaptic 0.57.11.1ubuntu4 installed after initial install, upgrade from synaptic (0.57.11.1ubuntu5) to 0.57.11.1ubuntu6, package version does not reflect upgraded package under Help : About.
1.Open synaptic via Control Center
2. Settings : Repositories
3. No request for password to enable changes to be made to repositories, at first was informed that changes had been made, requiring a "reload" to enable changes to repositories to load, no changes made, unable to make changes to repositories.
Attempted to make changes to repositories using command line "synaptic" package initiation, was met with : Starting without administrative privileges dialog. Below shows that adding sudo was not a workaround.
